Prepare the Repository in Codex

Use the approved Work specification for this mission. Center the project on the intended `iflyai-python-check-ride` folder. Do not write application code yet.

Begin read-only. Report the full workspace path, whether it is already a Git repository, whether it contains files, whether it is nested inside another repository, the verified Python command and version when available, and any conflict with the specification. Do not search outside the approved workspace or display secret values.

Propose the smallest repository structure, files, functions, tests, commands, output boundary, `.gitignore`, feature-branch name, failure cases, and Git checkpoints. Explain how the code will remain testable without asserting the student's real operating-system values. Wait for Pilot approval before initializing Git, creating a branch, or writing files.
